Darktable uses the Lensfun database for lens correction. My Tamron SP 90mm is not being detected in Darktable’s lens correction module, and I want to make sure my Fedora system has current Lensfun data. What is the usual way to update Lensfun on Fedora?

I am not sure how to check the lensfun version, but you can update the lensfun database using the following command:
$ lensfun-update-data
Please note that you must have the lensfun-tools package installed in order for the above command to work. lensfun-tools can be installed with this command:
$ sudo dnf install lensfun-tools

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
On Fedora, the practical step is to update the Lensfun database rather than focus only on the package version.
Install the Lensfun tools package if needed:
sudo dnf install lensfun-tools
Then update the database with:
lensfun-update-data
Darktable uses Lensfun for lens correction, so if your lens is in a newer database release, updating the Lensfun data may make it available. If the command is missing, it usually means lensfun-tools is not installed.
After updating, restart Darktable and check the lens correction module again.
